I totally enjoy making these strip cards! It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use!
You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below.
I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card. It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last. The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler. See it here.
I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies. They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog. See them here now.
The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks. The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather.
For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern. So cool!
After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here.I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.
For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers.
Here's how you do the Joseph'sCoattechnique:
Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock.
Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder.
Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer.
Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder.
Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow.
